Fullfillment of objective 6 in the Amuta's charter (see
http://hamakor.org.il/takanon):
6. לשמש מסגרת-אב לארגונים לא-מסחריים, הפועלים לקידום ולעידוד תוכנות חופשיות
ותוכנות פתוחות-קוד ולסייע בהקמת ארגונים נוספים.
Sorry for my ignorance about shares and buisness stuff,
but how does having 5 shares do that?
Does it let hamakor contribute in a way it can't do without the shares?
Does it give hamakor more infulance?
Does those shares equal to money that hamakor can later on get from selling them?
If it's an important company maybe hamakor should invest into it and try to buy few shares?
(Again I have no clue about those things and no idea about what sums of money we are talking about).
